"I agree entirely. Sometimes I wish hell would open up and suck all the lawyers and judges in especially the ones involved in this case."
IMO, when hell opens up it belches forth new trial lawyers...
Yeah reinforcements! lol My perspective on hell has never been the same since I read "The ScrewTape Letters" and though my house is made of glass I think Lewis's description of it as a bureaucratic structure hit its mark better than any I've run onto since. I personally can not understand what can possess someone to defend the imprisonment of an innocent man for the sake of a corrupt judge with a big ego or a DA with a mission to convict no matter what. I remember watching a show where a "judge" made excuses about not giving a man a chance for a new trial because even if the "physical evidence" which he was convicted with turned out to not match his DNA that he could've used a condom so it wouldn't matter anyway. That attitude is a problem by any evaluation and though I'm sure most judges and lawyers try to do the best job they can when I hear such a defense coming out of a person's mouth who is supposed to be well educated and honorable it really makes me wonder if this is just an exception or a symptom of a real malaise in our justice system.
